Clear: Week one and...Carburettors!

I am excited about ISM and especially look forward to learning more about Excel and Access. The first week seems pretty straight forward. Netiquette is extremely important both in business and leisure when using text-only forms of communication. I am active on a few discussion forums (mostly cycling or car related). While most of the posts are courteous, occasionally simple misunderstandings escalate and feelings are hurt.

I mentioned in my introduction that I worked on old cars as a hobby. I Currently have a 1972 MG Midget and today I received my carburettors back from South Carolina after a rebuild.

Are they not beautiful?



Goodnight! -Courtney

Introduction

Hi! I'm Courtney Charvet from Titusville, Florida. I work as Funeral Director at North Brevard Funeral Home and enjoy spending time with my family when I'm not busy with work or school. I also try to fit in some hobbies now and then such as working on cars, running, surfing, cycling and theater.

I am looking forward to this class and was pleasantly surprised when I read through the syllabus. This was not what I expected. I am new to blogging so this is a little out of my comfort zone, but I am always up for a challenge!
